Empire State of Mind
R&B Unlimited Lyrics

And as I fall
As I face challenges and setbacks

I look for ways to pick myself up
I try to find solutions and ways to overcome the obstacles

Going through the distance and it always just feels so rough
The journey to success is difficult and full of hardships

Yee
An exclamation of determination and resilience

Remember times where I was so done
Recalling moments of exhaustion and discouragement

With the process of fixing all of the things that I've done
The struggle of correcting past mistakes and making things right

Look at the leaves as they fall, as I fall
Contemplating the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of ups and downs

Remember where I was called
Reflecting on the passion and purpose that drives me forward

Remember when I was so appalled
Recalling moments of shock and disbelief at the challenges faced

Within the moment and it all
Amidst the adversity and struggles of life

When I remembered my call
Rediscovering the motivation and drive to succeed

And you don't know what I've been through
Others may not understand the struggles and challenges faced

But know that Ima hold my own
I will persevere and overcome challenges on my own

Been stuck so long inside this loop
Stuck in a cycle of hardship and adversity

To break the cycle that's in your control
Taking control of the situation and overcoming the obstacles

Maybe that's wrong with me
Perhaps I am at fault for the challenges faced

Didn't grow to be the kid that my parents wanna see
Not living up to parental expectations and disappointment

Sick of my ways, had them vomiting
Tired of repeating negative habits and causing harm to others

Became broken for breaking my promising
Feeling defeated and lost after failing to fulfill potential

What a shame, when something you've worked for has gone down the drain
Feeling regret and disappointment for failure despite effort

But don't be drained, let the shame fuel you to create again
Using the pain of failure to inspire and motivate future progress

Even if it's alone, Gotta do what I must do
Taking responsibility and doing what needs to be done, even if it means doing it alone

Like a floating balloon gotta let that stress all go
Releasing stress and tension to find peace and clarity

And ride that boat on an unguided cruise
Venturing into the unknown with determination and courage

Take the dive into the unknown
Embracing uncertainty and taking risks to pursue goals

So when life be hitting hard just like that bassline
When faced with adversity and challenge, finding strength and resolve

I find a way to shine just like the daytime
Finding inspiration and optimism even in the darkest moments

Stick to the journey like glue
Remaining committed and dedicated to achieving success

Cause I'm addicted to move
Driven by a desire for progress and growth

And every day's an opportunity for you to improve
Embracing each day as a chance to learn and develop

As I recall
Looking back and remembering past experiences and challenges

When times just seemed so tough
During moments of great difficulty and hardship

I'd always pick myself up
Finding the strength and determination to overcome challenges

No matter what it was
Regardless of the nature or scale of the challenge

I guess that time just wanted me to be done
Feeling exhausted and depleted after prolonged adversity

Some toxic things under the sun
The presence of negative and harmful elements in life

It's so appealing to some but the same want for things can be the reason for the pain
The allure of negative habits and behaviors, despite the harm they cause

Got to alleviate so separate yourself from mistakes
Taking steps to correct past mistakes and avoid repeating them in the future

Before you find yourself under the cloud
Taking action to avoid being weighed down by negativity or hardship

Don't sit in raiiiiiiinnnnn, no
Refusing to give in to despair or negative emotions

Finding myself in the eye of the storm
Navigating challenges and hardship at the center of the struggle

But still I find a way to be calm
Remaining composed and collected, despite the chaos around me

Even when things seem to be going wrong
Staying positive and hopeful, even during difficult times

Strike like the lightning and always stay strong
Acting decisively and confidently, displaying strength and resilience

Cause it's always a win when you learn from a loss
Seeing mistakes and failures as opportunities for growth and development

High potential I carry , I get it in buried and go set it off
Recognizing my potential for success and taking action to realize it

Filling up what's been empty like cars going in a garage
Overcoming shortcomings and deficiencies to achieve success

And as I fall
Continuing to face and overcome challenges, despite setbacks

I look for ways to pick myself up of the floor
Trying to rebound from hardship and adversity

Ohohoh
An expression of emotion and determination

Ohohoh
An expression of emotion and determination

Ohohohohohohoh
An expression of emotion and determination
